On Monday, Greenpeace for the first time issued a national guide for American consumers that rates toilet tissue brands on their environmental soundness. With the recession pushing the price for recycled paper down and Americans showing more willingness to repurpose everything from clothing to tires, environmental groups want more people to switch to recycled toilet tissue.

“No forest of any kind should be used to make toilet paper,” said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist and waste expert with the Natural Resource Defense Council . . .

. . . Hershkowitz is pushing the high-profile groups he consults with, including Major League Baseball, to use only recycled toilet tissue.

Beige and Scratchy! As someone who has used two of the TPs at the top of the list, I can assure that they are both white and soft. I would rather trees be used for baseball bats and cleaning the air and stuff rather than for wiping.
